Construction and fitment for Mercedes-Benz C-Class W203

The ashtray has been designed as part of the Mercedes interior equipment system, with a focus on ergonomics and ease of use. The opening and closing mechanism is engineered to ensure smooth operation under typical usage conditions. The shape of the housing and the mounting points are consistent with the factory solutions used in the C-Class W203, which translates into:

• stable seating in the console,
• no play after proper installation,
• a consistent look with other cockpit elements.

Such a fit is particularly important when replacing interior components, where both functionality and preserving the vehicle's original character are key.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered ashtray is a used part, sourced from dismantling, which allows for maintaining consistency with the factory solutions used in the given model. For many users, this is a beneficial solution because it:

• facilitates matching the colour and texture to other interior elements,
• ensures compatibility with original mounting points,
• allows for an economical replacement of a missing or damaged part.

Before installation, a standard visual inspection and cleaning are recommended to match the surface condition to the rest of the cockpit.

Installation in the front of the vehicle

The placement in the front of the vehicle provides easy access to the ashtray for both the driver and passenger. The component is intended for installation in a factory-prepared location, which in practice means:

• no need for interference with the dashboard structure,
• possibility of installation using standard mounting points,
• preservation of the ergonomics intended by the manufacturer.

This solution is particularly beneficial when restoring the interior's completeness after previous disassembly or replacement of console elements.

Compatibility and part selection

To correctly select the ashtray for a specific C-Class W203 unit, it is worth paying attention to compatibility with the body version and interior equipment. The product has a dedicated OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verifying compatibility with a specific car. In case of doubt, a good solution is to compare the shape and mounting method with the factory-installed element.
